you. |

Q. |
I don't have an organ, but I like the way some of
the instructors play. Can I get and organ
DVD and apply it to piano? |
|
A. |
Yes, there are plenty of ideas and technique tips
you can get from the organ DVDs, but it is
important to remember that and organ is an organ
and a piano is a piano. There are certain
things you can do on the organ that you can't do
on the piano and vice versa. It is there for
best to get the DVDs for the instrument(s) you
will have access to, but you are certainly not
bound by that. |

Q. |
I know
the notes on the keyboard and organ, but I don't
know chords. Will your DVDs help with that? |
|
A. |
Yes.
The musicians that are featured on these DVDs are
very knowledgeable about music. Many of them
break the chords down so that you can see how they
are constructed. |

|
|
Q. |
Is it
important to know theory when playing? I
hear many people say different things about the
topic? |
|
A. |
Well,
this is a debate that I am glad to say is starting
to become moot. While it is entirely
possible to go through a successful music career
without knowing anything about music theory, in
this day and age, it is becoming highly unlikely.
Basic knowledge of musical concepts like chord
qualities (major, minor, diminished, augmented),
scales, and the number system will take you far in
a music career. Reading is not required as
much, but if you can find time to work that into
your arsenal, then you will put yourself on
another plateau of musicians. There is
a guy in NY that can play anyone under the table
by ear. He wanted to open himself up for
more work so he took a year and learned how to
read music. Now not only does he do more
Gospel work but he also does shows for musicals
because he can read. |

|
Q. |
I know
how to read music, but I am having trouble playing
by ear. How do these guys do it? |
|
A. |
Playing by ear, like shooting free throws at the
line, is a skill that has to be developed.
Don't be fooled by the guys that do it and do it
well. Many of them have been exposed to the
music and have shed and put their time in to shape
their skill into what it is today. You can
do that too and it doesn't have to take you years,
before you can start satisfying yourself at your
instrument. |
